Bath Rugby have prevented Leinster fans from flying some 1,500 miniature blue flags at today's Heineken Cup game at the Rec.
The Official Leinster Supporters Club informed their members that the flags, which were flown over from Dublin, are being held back by Bath as the club say they have failed a health and safety test.
We brought 1500 flags over today’s game and Bath Rugby are refusing to let us distribute them. They are saying that the flags failed a health and safety test. These flags have been passed as safe by Airports and stadia all over the world. We would like to apologise to supporters for this disappointing news. We did everything we could to get the flags from Bath but they wouldn’t release them.
Bath have yet to respond to our requests for comment.
It appears that Bath flags have, however, passed the health and safety test:
IT’S GAMEDAY!
The flags are out ready to get behind the 🔵⚫️⚪️.
There’s still time to watch all the action here at the Rec & this could be your view of the action.
